The Revolution of 1912 overthrew the Qing Dynasty and
gave birth to the Republic of China. This was not only a milestone in Chinese
history, but also a turn in the development of Zhejiang folk arts.

During this period,
many kinds of folk arts were heavily influenced by the society and were developed
in both form and content to meet the recreational needs of urban residents. From
one or two performers to many performers, from light make-up to the painted, from
platform to lofty hathpace, folk arts evolved to operas little by little yet still
coexisted with the latter. The quickest among them was "Luo Di Chang Shu"
of Shenxian County.
